Newly installed entertainment president Amy Reisenbach sent a memo to staff today to bolster confidence in CBS and to remind her team that “broadcast is not dead.”
“I want to let you in on my mantra. Despite what you may have read or heard; BROADCAST IS NOT DEAD,” she wrote in the memo obtained by Deadline. “This season proves it! Our Network has 16 of the top 25 entertainment shows and they are killing it on Paramount + too! As we navigate the future, we are going to be smart and ambitious. And above all, we will keep entertaining millions of people around the world with best-in-class content. Surrender is not in my vocabulary.”
Reisenbach on Wednesday was named the new entertainment president who will oversee all of the network’s primetime, daytime and late night creative departments, including comedy and drama development, alternative, specials, current programming, scheduling and casting. She takes over for Kelly Kahl, who will be leaving the network at year’s end after 26 years at CBS.
Thom Sherman, who was the Senior Executive Vice President, Programming, is also stepping down and getting an expansive production deal with the company, instead.
As EVP, Current Programs, Reisenbach ran the combined department that oversees current programming for both CBS Entertainment and CBS Studios. In addition, she had oversight of CBS Daytime.
Reisenbach was previously SVP, Current Programs, from September 2015 through June 2017, supervising all series produced by the studio for The CW, while continuing to work on several shows broadcast on CBS. She joined CBS Studios in 2005 as Manager, Current Programs, was promoted to director a year later, and named VP in 2011.
Here is Reisenbach’s note to staff today:
